Chapter 247 - Forced Sale?
After successfully defeating her opponent, Gu Luoyu took a moment to catch her breath. Instead of immediately searching for spoils, she quickly jumped onto the broken wall pillar and approached Ye Sheng.
Before Ye Sheng could speak, Gu Luoyu proactively reached out and hugged her, lowering her head to kiss Ye Sheng's forehead, “Little Sheng, don't worry, I'm fine!”
Gu Luoyu guessed that Ye Sheng already knew about the amusement park's restrictions on psychic power. She had to admit that plans often couldn't keep up with changes. Originally, she thought this place wouldn't pose any danger, so she kept it a secret... but obviously, her estimation was wrong.
Regarding this, she could only quickly comfort Ye Sheng, hoping to ease her fears.
However, contrary to Gu Luoyu's expectations of fear, Ye Sheng gently pushed her away. After breaking free from the embrace, her cute face wore a serious expression, her black eyes filled with confusion and conflict.
Ye Sheng didn't speak immediately but took a moment to organize her thoughts. Then, she recounted the recent events in detail, especially the self-rescue option provided by the lottery space.
If Gu Luoyu hadn't quickly ended the battle, Ye Sheng might have agreed to the self-rescue option proposed by the lottery space!
But looking back now, it seems that the lottery space's help wasn't necessary. So why did the dialog suddenly pop up?
After hearing Ye Sheng's account, Gu Luoyu pondered for a moment, frowned, and quickly came up with several possibilities for Ye Sheng, “First, the lottery space might have wanted to take advantage of the situation to demand benefits, thus predicting a self-rescue option to extort something. Second, it might have detected that my strength was evenly matched with the rabbit's, so it judged that the probability of me losing the battle was high. Third…”
At this point, Gu Luoyu paused but continued, “So far, the lottery space hasn't shown any intention to harm you, but that doesn't include others. Perhaps because I also know about the lottery space, it wants to eliminate me...”
“No way!”
Even if it was just speculation, Ye Sheng was very unhappy to hear it. She shook her head vigorously, stopping Gu Luoyu from continuing.
If the lottery really did that, Ye Sheng swore she would destroy it at any cost, even if it meant her own death!
However, the lottery space had never prevented her from telling others about it. So why would it harm Gu... Wait, she seemed to have guessed the reason!!!
As soon as she thought of the possibility, Ye Sheng's face turned pale.
Her black eyes flickered with struggle, and she silently bit her lip. While she knew it was best to confess everything to Gu Luoyu, she couldn't bring herself to do it...
It was about the first item in the 800 million points lottery, [The Favor of the God]!
Through this divine trial, whose name couldn't even be displayed, one could inherit the god's fragment upon success, but failure would mean falling into infinite hell.
Just hear it sounds more painful than death.
Ye Sheng absolutely wouldn't allow Gu Luoyu to take such a risk.
The more she thought about it, the more likely it seemed. The lottery space had mentioned a self-rescue option, not directly giving the item. So it was possible that [The Favor of the God] would automatically be given to Gu Luoyu.
As for passing the trial to gain strength... Who knew if using the item would grant an increase in power, allowing one to kill the guide and then continue the trial...
Damn lottery space, forcing a sale! She didn't want to give this item to Gu Luoyu, and now it was trying every means to find an opportunity!
Thankfully, she hesitated and didn't agree immediately. Now that she had this suspicion, she wouldn't be easily fooled in the future!
In that short moment, hundreds of thoughts flashed through Ye Sheng's mind, eventually settling into calmness.
When she looked at Gu Luoyu again, Ye Sheng secretly pouted, her eyes slightly drooping, as she hugged her with a sense of grievance, cursing the lottery space for being shameless.
Gu Luoyu, who was observant, naturally didn't miss the changes in Ye Sheng's expression. She knew the little one was hiding something, but now wasn't the right time to press for answers. She will address it later!
Generally, Gu Luoyu didn't want to push Ye Sheng too much, as too many constraints could affect their relationship.
Due to her complex family background, Gu Luoyu had never experienced familial love. From a young age, she had only known endless slaughter and death, let alone romantic love.
But she was willing to learn slowly for Ye Sheng, while also controlling her own extreme personality.
She will become better for Ye Sheng!!!
So, Gu Luoyu let Ye Sheng hug her for a while, then patted her back and said, “Do you want to take a closer look at that black rabbit?”
“Yes!”
Hearing Gu Luoyu's suggestion, Ye Sheng nodded vigorously.
As she snapped out of her thoughts about the lottery space's 'scheme,' Ye Sheng remembered that Gu Luoyu had been injured in the recent battle. She quickly looked down at Gu Luoyu's injured leg.
Hurriedly, she opened the cut fabric and saw... well, a fair and smooth leg with no wounds.
Gu Luoyu, standing still, couldn't help but chuckle. She came out and touched Ye Sheng's head, comforting her, “It's okay. The physical constitution of an Esper is strong, and you had previously stuffed a few energy stones into my pocket. Absorbing energy allows my injuries to heal quickly.”
Ye Sheng also remembered the strength of psychics at this moment. She breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that in the future, she must not use energy stones for lottery points again!
She would save them all for Gu Luoyu!!!
After confirming that Gu Luoyu was fine, Ye Sheng remembered something. She tiptoed and leaned in for a deep kiss, her tongue skillfully tangling with Gu Luoyu's. After exchanging fluids, Gu Luoyu's depleted psychic power quickly recovered.
After the kiss, Gu Luoyu, who had been suffering from a headache due to overusing her psychic power, immediately felt better.
Ye Sheng didn't forget to seriously instruct, “Don't use psychic power recklessly in this amusement park. Let's explore slowly, no rush. If we can't win, we'll run!”
Hearing this, Gu Luoyu smiled and obediently nodded.
Then, she picked up Ye Sheng, who was about to continue speaking, and took a few steps forward before jumping down. The rapidly falling wind blew their hair, and the extreme thrill was exhilarating.
However, for an ordinary person, this height would be fatal, but for an Esper, it was just child's play.
At such a high speed, in almost the blink of an eye, the two arrived beside the dead black rabbit. No longer worried or scared, Ye Sheng curiously broadened her eyes.
Just as she was about to approach to see if it dropped any loot like in a game, Gu Luoyu stopped her.
“Even though it's indeed dead, it's better to be cautious. Don't get too close yet. I'll use my psychic power to search for it.”
Gu Luoyu wouldn't let Ye Sheng take risks and knew that Ye Sheng would also stop her from getting too close. Therefore, she directly proposed using psychic power. Black psychic energy condensed into more than a dozen hands, surrounding the black rabbit as it began to search.
